While many of the projects are already in progress across our regions - such as Love Tennis and Club Spark - the purpose of the Nationally Shared Initiatives is to agree a set of priorities that will be delivered nationally on an annual basis.
Some projects have great momentum, but not all of the national initiatives are universally supported at a local level, or seen as priorities.
We understand that not all of the initiatives will be right for all of the clubs, so there is the option to not participate in those that aren’t right for you or your area.
Having Nationally Shared Initiatives means that we will ask you, if you are working on a similar project, to follow the national initiative instead of delivering an independent local project. This will help us to achieve our commitment to growing and improving the tennis experience, across New Zealand, for all participants.
Some existing national initiatives are jointly funded by all participants (e.g. Love Tennis in 2019), some by Regions and Tennis NZ, and others (e.g ClubSpark) are fully funded by Tennis NZ or like Book a Court which is heavily subsidised by Tennis NZ.
